Scouting Report: St. Bonaventure Seraphs

Malibu travels to Ventura tomorrow to take on the St. Bonaventure Seraphs. The Seraphs finished the regular season at the top of the CIF Division V rankings with a 20-5 record.

The Seraphs finished first in the Tri-Valley League with an 11-1 league record. Oak Park, which finished three games behind St. Bonaventure in the Tri-Valley League, handed the Seraphs a 2-1 loss on May 3.

St. Bonaventure has twelve seniors on the varsity squad. Last year, the Seraphs made it to the semi-finals of the CIF playoffs where they fell to Serrano, 3-2.

Starting on the mound for the Sharks tomorrow will be senior Brooks Fitch. Fitch pitched five shutout innings against Temple City in the playoffs one year ago before falling by a score of 5-2.

St. Bonaventure is located at 3167 Telegraph Road in Ventura (just west of Pacific Mall). For a map, go here.

[UPDATE: The game will be played at Saticoy Field. Take the 101 Freeway to the Central exit. Go right on Central to Vineyard and turn right. Take Vineyard to Wells and turn left to Henderson. The field is on the corner of Wells and Henderson.]
